Ledian -- Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Review

Ledian Burning Shadows Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Ledian from the Burning Shadows Pokemon Card Set.  Ledian is a Stage 1, Grass type Pokemon card, with a HP of 90. It has a x2 weakness to Fire type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one Colorless Energy card retreat cost.  This card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move on this card is called Swift, for one Grass Energy card, this move does 30 damage.  Comet Punch is the name of this card's second move, for three Colorless Energy cards, this move does 40 damage time the number of heads you get when flipping 4 coins.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Ledian is a Stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Ledyba into play (I reviewed Ledyba from this set yesterday) and then evolve Ledyba into Ledian.  If you read yesterday's review of Ledyba, you'll know that I thought that card was average overall.  It had 60 HP, a low retreat cost, and could do 10 damage for one Grass Energy card, the thing that set this card apart a little was on its move it had a 50% chance of preventing all effects of an attack on Ledyba during your opponent's next turn, which I thought made the card more usable in decks.  Knowing this about Ledyba and looking at this Ledian card, I'm personally not a huge fan of this card.  I do like that Swift can attack quickly and the move isn't affected by weakness or resistance, but other than that, this card is similar to Tangrowth that I reviewed two days ago in that the second move on the card has potential to do major damage, but if you don't have some luck, or aren't using a Trainer to get more than 1 attempt at flipping coins, you could end up doing zero damage.  So I would recommend passing on this line overall, the only reason to consider using this line in a deck is if you want to be able to do a steady amount of damage if you're facing something that has a resistance to Grass type Pokemon, you'd at least be able to do 30 damage a turn with this line, because of this, if you were to use this line in a deck, I would not use more than a 1-1 line.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a below average Stage 1 Pokemon card from the Burning Shadows set.  Somewhat similar to Tangrowth from this set, despite a much lower HP on this card, this is a Stage 1 Pokemon card that just isn't that good, only being able to do a guaranteed 30 damage each turn when attacking, but a card that has the potential to do 120 damage per turn, so again, if you're someone who wants to for sure do 30 damage per turn, regardless of the type of Pokemon you're facing, or someone who has good luck, then this line suits you, otherwise I wouldn't recommend this line for a deck and would give the two Pokemon combined a 2 out of 5 rating.
